Tarik Skubal added many accolades to his name for the first time in 2024. Now, he'll add the top pitching award to his mantle. The Detroit Tigers ace was named the American League Cy Young Award winner for the 2024 season on Wednesday, beating finalists Seth Lugo and Emmanuel Clase for the honor. He won all 30 first-place votes, becoming the third consecutive unanimous Cy Young winner after Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander .
Skubal's win total, ERA and strikeout total were the most in the American League, making him the first pitcher to win the pitching Triple Crown in a 162-game season since former Tigers ace Verlander and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw did so in their respective leagues in 2011. Verlander won the Cy Young Award for his play that season as Skubal is the sixth Tigers player to ever win the award. After a dominant regular season, Skubal was nails in his first two postseason starts.
